Throttle Cable Inspection
Throttle Cable
Depress and release the throttle lever.
It should operate smoothly and return
to its initial position without any hesi-
tation. There must be a small amount
of free-play when throttle lever is re-
leased. Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo
dealer if necessary.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to adjust
the idle speed through the throttle
body tamper proof screw. If so, it
would impair the idle speed stabili-
ty. Besides, no adjustment could be
performed by the dealer nor the fac-
tory to correct the idle speed. The
throttle body would need to be re-
placed at the customer expense.
Also take into account that might
change the engine emission level
and the engine might not meet the
EPA/CARB requirements.
1. Should move freely
